See, the idea's growing.
If and when the Tories bring back the Work Houses there are all sorts of people who could benefit.
Scrap Child Benefit. Many more savings can be achieved buying chicken nuggets etc. in vast quantities direct from the producer.
Poor pensioners will benefit from being huddled together, and will thus stay warmer, and save on heating bills.
Everytime a crime has been committed the police will not waste any precious time, but will be able to go directly to the Work House, as we all know it's only the disadvantaged in society who commit crime, and never those in power.
Plus, being privately owned we'll have a willing and cheap (free) workforce, for all that stone breaking etc., thus ensuring maximum profits.

That's one of your most moving, and well thought out posts.
The political thinking behind it verges on the intellectual genius.
You should write a book.
(One of those teeny tiny ones, like the Bronte's did, and which are exhibited at Howarth Parsonage.)

Thankfully I don't drink, so my posts make perfect sense to those with even the smallest intellect, or sense of humour.

Which is just as well, considering your capabilities to debate a point without the need to use offensive laguage on our family site.

Nice one....your followers will be pleased at that one.
A lot of people on this site don't know me and my capabilities of debating a point may not come across because they think Garinda is the be all and end all of debating on this site through his wicked wit.
I beg to differ, if I am allowed.
Offensive language in this case is a rebuff, not to the members of this site, but to you.

Lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Followers?
List them all, and I will tell you what we've argued opposing views on, and in what threads.
Sadly I may be a Messiah in your head. Whereas in reality I'm just a very naughty boy.
A film quote by the way.....oh nevermind, it's becoming too tiresome explaining every little comic reference.
You'd be better off going back to play with Lancsdave. Besides the age difference, it would never really work between us, one of us having a thick skin and a sense of humour, and the other not.
As for you taking offence at my mention of the word 'nurse' in 2028, you've lost me completely. It was a joke about age, not your wife. A wife we wouldn't even know existed until you mentioned her in a thread you started about bank charges.
As with military 'Garinda tactics', not only do you supply the ammunition used against you, you detonate it too.
Like I said, it's too tiresome, and too boring for everyone else, to keep explaining every little point, which is crystal clear to all those above the age of seven.
Oh I forget you like Jeremy Clarkson for 'telling it like it is'. Just pretend I'm him, but with better hair, more suitable clothes, and a more accute wit.

Re: Glenrothes Labour win
If by 'followers' you mean that sometimes people agree with me on here, and no one seems to take up your banal little digs at the Prime Minister etc., that's really not my fault.

Re: Glenrothes Labour win
How many 'followers' do I have?
I've been up early making them fetching robes, but need to know numbers and sizes.
If you could list them Royboy it would be a great help.
Thanks.

Re: Glenrothes Labour win
How can anyone possibly support a prime minister who:
Has a seat in another country with it's own parliament.
Was not elected by the people of this country and got the job because of a promise in a restaurant.
Brought Mandelson back into the government after he had to leave - twice -because of dodgy dealings.
Will not allow a vote on the European Contstitution/Treaty
We're supposed to be a democracy and right now we are not.
That is something to be really angry about and it transcends party politics.

Wasn't John Major unelected, when the Tories ousted Thatcher, and he became Prime Minister?
Wonder how he found time to do that, what with having it off with Eggwina Currie at the same time.
Happy, highly moral, days.
